08/26/2022, 7:00 PMI'm curious to know what kind of application you inherited. I actually still a few hours per week refactoring old old code. I hate coming across variables with no scope at all.

Daniel Mejia
08/26/2022, 7:09 PMHaha, that is also what I've been doing with the old code. I remove all the hard coded lists of user access.
So did you figure out the design of that system?
